Description: A BRIGHT SHINING LIE, John Paul Vann and America in Vietnam by Neil Sheehan. GOOD++ First Edition unstated paperback, 1988. Sheehan's tragic biography of outspoken and fearless Army LCOL John Paul Vann is also a sweeping history of America's seduction, entrapment and disillusionment in Vietnam. Reveals the truth of the war as it unfolded before the eyes of Vann: the arrogance and professional corruption of the US military system of the 1960s; the incompetence and venality of the South Vietnamese Army; the nightmare of death and destruction that began with the arrival of the American forces. GOOD++ First Edition unstated paperback, gently read with age-toned pages clean and unmarked. Light soiling to edges with minor spill stains. Binding tight. Cover shows minor corner and edge wear with light scuffing and rubbing, mostly at back. No tears. Not a remainder. 6" x 9" x 2." Maps, photos and text. 861 pgs.
